Abstract

PCC is a well-known oxidizing agent, for the conversion of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones with high efficiency. 9 Several rearrangements and useful conversions are mediated by PCC. 10 and 11 This makes PCC a versatile reagent in organic synthesis. We herein report a new method for the synthesis of 1,2-diketo compounds by PCC mediated unexpected C–C bond cleavage. ... In our earlier endeavor of a total synthesis of a natural product, there was a ...
